(above) The DU Ski Team at the White House yesterday
An interesting article about Oklahoma youth ice hockey that mentions DU star defenseman Matt Donovan prominently. DU will have players on the roster this season from nontraditional ice hockey areas such as California, Nevada, Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska. Ice hockey's growth in the western United States has been due in no small part to an incredible network of volunteers and parents.

Once again the USNDT will play USHL games and various international tournaments around the world.

Looks like Pham did not make the us under 17 team.
The only thing going downhill faster than the DU ski team is the Prez.
That Pre-season hockey game with USNTDPU18 will be fun - there's 29 current/future Pioneer players on the 2 combined rosters. A rare chance for us fans to see the freshly-planted seedlings in thier future home. it's "just" an exhibition game - you know Van Voorhis & Larraza have to be looking forward to it
Eaves comments on Smith from Canadian appearance: Eaves, at the Caboto Club Tuesday as guest speaker in the University of Windsor’s Odette School of Business Breakfast Of Champions Series, also had this to say about Detroit Red Wings prospect Brendan Smith, a former Badgers defenceman: “He's a wild mustang,” Eaves said. “He put up 50 points last season as a defenceman, which is phenomenal for our league. But he still needs some mentorship. Brendan needs to grow up emotionally.” Really, think his coach could have helped him with accountablity when he was arrested over and over?
